What are your thoughts on this IM conversation...

Me: I'm cold and I want some hot food
Me: hmmm...
Jen: soup?
Me: thats not food
Jen: sure it is
Jen: if it has meat in it
Me: it is drink pretending to be food
Jen: that you have to chew!
Me: are you sure you arent thinking of stew?
Jen: uhh...well, i don't call it stew...
Jen: i call it chunky soup!
Me: but still, it isnt real
Me: I'm not sure if it's possible to feel satisfied from eating soup
Me: I dont think I've ever said "oh no, I couldn't possibly have another spoonful of soup, I'm full!"
Jen: well, i have...
Me: it's like popcorn
Me: only technically food
Jen: but pop corn can make you full!
Jen: if you eat a whole bag!
Me: no it cant
Me: maybe it's you girls
Me: you somehow get full on pretend food
Me: so that is how it is marketed, because of women
Jen: yep

Bania: Soup's not a meal. You're supposed to buy me a meal.
Jerry: I’m not stopping you from eating. Go ahead and eat. Get anything you want.
Bania: I don't want anything but soup.
Jerry: Then that's the meal.

We're both 21... should we be debating whether a good draft beer is a whole meal or not?
 
Soup and popcorn are awesome foods; just with a low density.

Me: I dont think I've ever said "oh no, I couldn't possibly have another spoonful of soup, I'm full!"
Once you get over this "non-food bias" such situations will present themselves.

It is nice to have a sandwich along with the soup, or some noodles. Of course, yes, once you start adding many more things in you start reaching the definitional limits of "soup", but I try not to pigeonhole my foods with naming conventions.

"Jen Doesn't Like Me Anymore"

Jen thinks it isn't fair that I don't really care
If she likes me or not
And Jen doesn't like to settle
Until she makes me feel like Howie Reynolds
She thinks that I'm all that I've got
No Jen doesn't like me anymore
Jen doesn't like to go to the shows,
She doesn't like my whoa - whoa's.
Jen doesn't like me anymore.

Tobias Fünke : Do you see me more as the respected dramatic actor or more of the beloved comic actor?
Carl Weathers : Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going.
Tobias Fünke : Yes, that's fine, but I would like to focus on my acting, Mr. Weathers. I did give you my last $1, 100.
Carl Weathers : Let me tell you a little story about acting. I was doing this Showtime movie, Hot Ice with Anne Archer, never once touched my per diem. I'd go to Craft Service, get some raw veggies, bacon, Cup-A-Soup... baby, I got a stew going.
Tobias Fünke : [pause] I think I'd like my money back.
 
I think you should buy around 10-25 cans of the soup(s) of your choice, sit down, line 'em up and start eating. See how many cans it takes until you say "oh no, I couldn't possibly have another spoonful of soup, I'm full!"
